Fairview Cemetery

What can I say? I just can’t give this a rating. It’s filled with graves! As far as your eye can see, graves everywhere! You can drive in, as the pavement is quite large. It’s filled with trees as well, so you are under the shade for most of the time. Great place to ponder on life and its beauties. One entrance is beside the ford dealership, one on the back where houses are located, and one on the other side of the highway. Yeah, that’s allI can say.

As a child, I was particularly interested in the tragedy — not because I’m into anything so morbid or grotesque but because it’s a sad example in history about the haves and have nots and the selfishness to survive before the gentleman’s code gets in the way. When my friend told me that there is a cemetery nearby for most of the victims I said we had to go. I recommend that before one just run up to the markers that they read the details of plot, especially how the curvature is not intended to suggest the shape of a ship’s bow but rather it was designed to flow with the slope of the land. Well done and several thanks to our northern neighbor for continuing to help Americans in their time of need.

As the 100^th anniversary of the Titanic sinking approaches, I am sure many people will be visiting this cemetery to pay their respects. 121 victims of the Titanic are buried here and some are still unidentified. The «unknown child» tombstone is one of the most famous but the child was identified in 2007 as an English child named Sidney Goodwin. The granite gravestones are well laid out and it’s worth taking the time to visit these unlucky souls. The cemetery is located in a partially residential area, but there is also some industrial development behind the cemetery which sadly makes the place not so quiet.
